I purchased two vehicles from Conte's Corvettes on November 28th, a 1972 Corvette convertible and a 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser. There was poor disclosure of defects in both vehicles prior to the sale and I was told that the Corvette was taken into the shop and "gone over" to make sure everything was in good shape prior to shipping. Both vehicles were advertised on eBay Motors and neither advertisement mentioned or showed any of the defects discovered at time of delivery. The Corvette was portrayed as an "off the frame" restoration car and was impeccable with exceptional paint and chrome. The FJ Cruiser was presented as pristine, with only 1500 original miles and a transferable extended warranty. On delivery, it was immediately evident that the Corvette had some problems: non functional emergency brake, nonfunctional electric clock, non functional courtesy lights, driver door switch that sparked during operation, missing jack and tools, fasten seatbelt light that would not turn off, and significant driver side paint defects (driver side door and rear quarter with thin paint and "stripes" of primer visible through the finish). The FJ had an area on the hood where the paint had been worn down to the primer coat, which was absolutely not disclosed. The owner of Conte's Corvettes, Marty, admitted to me that he knew about the FJ paint defect. When the problems with Corvette were brought to Marty's attention, he told me that he would cover the costs of repairs. The cost of the mechanical repairs was $2000.00. The paint defects on both vehicles will not be repaired due to the likelihood that the repairs would not improve overall appearance. I sent the invoice for the Corvette's repairs to Marty and after an 11 day delay for his response, he responded "what do you think is fair?" I suggested that he decide what is fair, but that I paid $2K. That was another 11 days ago and he has not responded since, even after multiple attempts to contact him. Also, Marty has never responded to multiple attempts to requests to transfer the extended warranty on the FJ Cruiser - completely ignored my emails and phone calls. Another problem with this transaction was that at the time of purchase, Conte's Corvettes did not hold the title to the Corvette (also not disclosed at the time of purchase). The title was actually held by a bank in Alaska. The delays in obtaining the title resulted in fines that we incurred from the DMV. My initial conversations with Marty were positive and he seemed willing to make things right. However, the further we have gotten from the sale, the worse communications have become and now I appear to be "ghosted". In summary, there was poor disclosure of problems with both of these vehicles prior to the sale. This was misleading and resulted in inflated pricing and disappointment. After the sale, communication and support has been poor. read more

Would highly recommend! Marty knows his stuff is a pleasure to work with and is an honest businessman. I've owned 5 corvettes and this is the best place I've found! Repaired everything (and found a few things I missed) for a reasonable price. Even kept the car for a month as he waited for me patiently to get the parts. read more

I bought my car on July 27 2022 I live in Massachusetts so I bought it sight unseen I went buy pictures and a description they had online I wanted a modified corvette and this car had a built motor but had no catalytic converters which I knew about they were really nice I had the car shipped to me. This is where it went south first problem was I asked them to ship me the title overnight through fed ex which they agreed I told them that the post office lost my title to a car I just sold so they sent it at the post office they ended up losing my title I contacted the post office and they told me it was lost. Contes told me they have never lost a title be patient but it was lost. I tried calling them the refused to answer my calls my wife's calls. My wife used her friends phone and they answered they were rude and told my wife it's out of their way to get me a new title I finally received it over a month later. Second problem they never disclosed the fact the car had nitrous that was poorly installed which I would have never bought the car if I new I finally registered and insured at the end of august went to take it for a ride it wouldn't stay running I had to get it towed to a shop where it's been for six weeks and counting there is so many things wrong with it they fix one thing and find another they said someone built it and never finished it. so if you want to deal with a dishonest and rude people contes is the place for you!!!if I lived closer this car would've been brought back to them and refunded my money read more

I am very displeased with the service I received from Conte's. I dropped off my 99 corvette a week before my appointment because I was leaving town for a few weeks. After saying this they were suppose to call me with estimate on things that I wanted them to check over. I had to call them to get any information. Finally reaching them and getting an estimated of price and time frame I told them to go head and if anything changed to call me. Well they gave me a date when is was going to be done. Of course it wasn't. They told me they needed another day or two and to call them. So I did make numerous attention reach no answer just voicemail no return calls. Well two days ended up being a week and 4,500 later also demanding for it to be done. After getting my Vette back there were still a couple of things wrong. They fixed one of them. When I brought the Vette back I ask why they did not clean out the air filters and air system got a funny look. So I just left on my trip. After reaching my destination 1,300 miles my engine light came on. Needed to clean out filters and air system. Engine light has come on again. Still checking on this. All I have to say is that every one I know who have dealings with original owner Conte never had any problems. read more

Don't believe the hype. They tell you they deal in one owner or excellent used Corvettes. I bought a 1993 40 th Anniversary Corvette from them and I understood and accepted that it was a used car and no warranty. I asked that they simply make sure that all of the buttons, knobs, accessories and parts worked, which they told me they did. I bought the car and had it shipped to Nevada. When it arrived on the transport the battery died, on the transport truck, which immediately called for a new battery $150.00. Not a big deal things happen. The drivers side power rear view mirror defective $460.00, the Bose Gold Radio defective, I had to have it sent to Florida $600.00, the car arrived without the key fobs I had to have the dealer get one and program it $250.00, front and back alignment $200.00, change all of the fluids $350.00, floor mats $220.00, repair the weather stripping on cargo area. The people are nice, especially the female receptionist. I did use my an independent auto transport and I would have been better served to use the auto transport Conte's uses, especially with an automobile like a Corvette. read more

Joe, Tric, and the entire Conte's staff have been nothing short of outstanding when it comes to assisting me with the restoration of my Corvette. If it's getting me the parts I need or just talking to Joe and picking his brain for help, they always deliver. read more
